![]() Rating: - A revival into a quiet sheet of sound...When I listen to this album, it's like I am listening to a completely new album all over again and again and agian and again...Do you grasp the concept? A NEW album, a completely different and familiar sound. The Duo has completely grasped my attention with with this indescribable and magnificent peice of work. When I heard the track "Humectez La Mouture" I fell into an emotional state of tears when I had never known what it was to really cry or even why it came to that point. Maybe it is because ...

The latest SOTL release, And Their Refinement Of The Decline, is much more than a collection of drone-based ambient textures. It is ...

Right around where butterflies appear when you're really nervous but the place right above that is struck by beauty and happiness and nostalgia. This album brings about feelings of all of the above and drags listeners along for a massive length of two hours. When I first heart of Stars of the Lid I didn't get the music at all but something kept me coming back to it. The name, the hype, the cover art, or the thought ...
